+1 ... MGS Fan™-approved. :]

Holy Moo. Nintendo is doing such a HUGE fan service here. I wouldn't be surprised if Mega Man, Santa Claus, and Jesus were announced.

They should just start announcing who won't be in the game.

I'll bet money that he's playable/unlockable, judging by what Sakurai said on the site.

I'll take that bet, samfish. There's no way they are going to have a playable character from the MGS series besides Snake. That's like saying they're going to put Knuckles in there just so Sonic doesn't feel alone.

Uhh...they added TWO additional characters from the Kirby universe.

But I agree, as much as I would absolutely LOVE to play as Gray Fox, he won't be playable.

Maybe you shouldn't have euthanized it!

Valve should sell that radio on their site.

You called? =]

The Weighted Companion Cube is a poor character since it will never stab anyone.

I vote L-block's inclusion.

"A delayed game is delayed until its released. A bad game will be bad forever"

Shigueru Miyamoto

@Fernando, why would you want to quote that Captain Obvious remark by Miyamoto? Thats like saying the sky is blue, its not some epic words from a god. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Thats not how he said it. Shigeru Miyamoto said, "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever."

So, do you want that I repeat other quotes, like "Rumble is last gen", "get a second job" "giant enemy crab" attack his weak for massive damage"

or fanboys quotes: "just wait until lair... just wait until Heavenly... just wait until Ratchet (just 40,000 sales last week), just wait until its $399... just wait until Uncharted"



I think its better the quote from Miyamoto.

I think Tails was already confirmed to have been seen at E For All, although I haven't seen any screens or movies or anything. Gist of it is that if you fall off the stage, he flies you back up instead of you losing a life, a la Marble Garden 2's boss.

I believe that was just Paratroopa. Some people mistook him for Tails. And it wouldn't make any sense to show something that big without even announcing it beforehand.

As long as one of those assist trophies is Knuckles

dude if you're pulling in Square characters... I want Crono.

And Geno.
Or does he count as a Nintendo character?

Geno is owned by Square.

Good suggestions, though.

Must be nice having a finished copy of the game before it's even completed.

Why isn't it enough fun? Game looks fun as hell! (Not burying you)

Geist: Yes it is nice. Actually everyone who owns a Game Cube already has a copy, it's called Super Smash Bros. Melee.
SoulBlade: I'm not a huge fan of any of the Smash Bros. games. Yes I've played them for more than ten seconds. Yes I've played with three other people. I've gone out of my way to get the "best experience" and it just doesn't do it for me. It just seems that every time a new character is added to the roster, everyone gets moist. There comes a point where if you have too many characters, you can't develop and refine them as much as possible(Final Fantasy VI is a good example of this.)

Why would they need to develop the characters? The characters are already developed in their respective games.

True, this isn't an RPG, its a simple (well not that simple really) fighting game...

I see your point about Brawl/Melee, but there's a lot more to this game. I mean, the basic play mechanics are the same around, but I'm definitely looking forward to Final-Smashing my friends into Oblivion© and having Gray Fox slice'n'dice.
Plus, the multitude of characters, I find, is much better, since it means everyone who plays the game can find someone they like and play with them. Just as long as they don't dredge the bottom of the barrel (I question the addition of King Dedede, for example...)

And the awesome part is there's a part of everyone who thinks there's more to come...

That sounds surprisingly like my reaction. "Oh, okay. Cool. So what other news is there?"

We get it, you don't like the game. But I still love how they're trickling out information. It keeps a balance between releasing everything and have people go "OH MAN SO MUCH but we want more!" to people completely forgetting entirely.

No, I don't like stupid hype machines you cock-sucking fanboy!

grrr reply broke, this was to Zero a few posts up.

Aerial combat? Bleh, I dislike most games that focus on that crap. Seeing as how the point of SSB is to knock the opponent off the screen, I see this as an attempt to make that goal easier. Besides, how the hell could Bowser and Donkey Kong have even half a chance against King Dedede in the air? That mofo can fly!
